I don't know if it's comedy or tragedy, but I've often considered the situation of what a newborn is "expecting".

"Ok, first thing when I come out is I'm gonna meet the family. I'll try to get used to their face, whoever I see first. Maybe they'll show me around the savannah, should be a lot of sunshine, colours, blue sky. Then I'll sleep directly on my mom and get some boob milk."

Kid comes out, everyone is wearing a mask, half of them aren't family, they're indoors with artificial light, and they have "clothes" put on them, and are put in a cot to sleep.

Nice story, but newborns can't really see well:

Their body and nervous system is booting up, everything is starting to adjust to being in a new environment. Masks and family doesn't matter much in that brief period, it's more important to avoid infections and have proper care if something goes wrong. That's why child mortality is down significantly.

It's A LOT more stressful than that :)

"I need to start use my own lungs to breathe and if I can't do that I'm dead in a minute". Followed by trying to get a milk from a mother who often doesn't yet produce any... Using the eyes to look around is WAY down the list :)

Babies have really poor vision until like 6 months.

So it's like, kid comes out, everything is a blurry mess, stuff happens to them and they have no fucking clue.

Not to mention the injections, slapping, and isolation in a room with other screaming newborns!
